1. WHAT ID THE 'PRESIDENTS'S BULLETIN'? ****************************

I use the 'President's bullitin' as a way to summarise the past week and make sure that you don't miss anything important. All relevant notices will be grouped together for one easy read. It consists of e-mails already sent to the club and less important notices that can he held until the bulletin to save your inboxes.

It is important to note that some of the sections are copies of e-mails already sent to the club in the past week I try to alter them so that dates are obvious but one or two mistakes may slip through so use your common sense!

I spend my Sunday night's preparing it so please read it!!!

Thanks, Craig (Craig.Rockliffe.05@bristol.ac.uk)

3. PUBS ON POOL NIGHTS ******************************************

Hi all, With Pool training starting this week I feel it is important to remind everyone that once we have trained we all head to the pub for a more informal debriefing and general catching up (read gossiping) session.

The Richmond Springs has very kindly offered us cheaper drinks, just say you are with UBUC, so we will be making the most of this and heading there after both pool sessions:

Tuesday 10pm - The Richmond Springs
Friday 9pm - The Richmond Springs

Sound good? Great! See you there (especially after pool training) - we may head off down park street at chucking out time on a Friday too...

See y'all there, Craig (Craig.Rockliffe.05@bristol.ac.uk)
